Interesting ideas. Took me a long time to not put a money value on the food I grow. For that time always comparing the production in monetary terms with the best price I could buy the same food at the store.
Very hard to not do so I think, The question of surplus arises. I think food we own like land and shelter for a few centuries has been propagandized away from rationality. The amusing and amazing aftermath of Covid insanity is revealing how vital autonomy is.
Collecting things comes naturally. Upsetting seeing things the same as one's own things in a second hand shop, or on eBay.
A fright to see how little or how much they appear to be worth.
As children my sister had a china mug with a bunny wearing a blue jacket. I coveted it badly and years later bought a second hand one. Too late, the value was not there.

Having a life versus buying a life. Thanks for the post and reply.
I'm still doing that. And with the price of organic vegetables the value from my garden is high.
Harvest time for potatoes and tomatoes now.
There is not an organic product for sale that compares.
Unfortunately our really big Agria potatoes have had a water filled cavity.
I don't grow potatoes anymore, not worth the effort.
Am assuming either left them in the ground too long or K""l Gates had a hand in it.
Potatoes are comfort food for my husband and me. Not so for our postmodern child.
The intensity of the future will require diverse nutrition, comfort not so much.
